Fresh Burrata

Fresh burrata is a luscious Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Originating from the Apulia region of Italy, it is cherished for its creamy texture and rich, milky flavor. The exterior is a thin layer of mozzarella, encasing a soft, almost liquid center that combines the tang of cheese with the sweetness of cream. When eaten, burrata offers a silky smooth texture that melts in the mouth. In cooking, burrata is delicate and should be added at the last moment to preserve its creamy integrity. It does not hold up well to high heat, making it ideal for dishes where its texture and flavor can shine without alteration.

Notes

When selecting fresh burrata, look for a plump, intact pouch with no tears or leaks. It should feel soft but not overly deflated. Store burrata in the refrigerator and consume within one to two days for the best quality. Handle gently to avoid breaking the delicate outer shell. Burrata is a dairy product and contains lactose, which is important for those with dietary restrictions.
